(I do not take any claim of the cover art, it is not mine, it just looks cool and the creator has incredible talent) This fanfic takes place after a made up ending mixing three of the five ending (Not including Sealed Siblings, and Delicate Flower endings) With the Infection gone, Hallownest can finally rebuild, Hornet, feeling more free than ever before, gladly wants to lead and help rebuild Hallownest. But the remnants of Hallownest citizens turn to the traumatized, suicidal, seriously injured, self-loathing, Hollow Knight, rightful heir to the throne for leadership. Rebuilding what the Pale King had created will be more difficult than expected. Especially now with the Radiance defeated, bugs from all over the world, come to Hallownest for riches and power, including ones, who would kill for it.
